The “change-the-world” generation

Let’s face it, the world is in a mess. I find myself wondering why we are not more concerned about the future of our young people. Why are we not more focused on the livelihood and well-being of our future generations?

I believe it is time for the “me” generation to give way to the “us” generation. We need to act now. Not acting now will incur more costs later. The cost of not acting will result in delays and failure to achieve the UN’s sustainable development goals.

We have the potential to change life conditions for every individual on the planet in one or two generations. This is the challenge to the youth of today—to take ownership of the achievement of the UN’s development goals.

Congratulations Richard. I completely agree with you. I am launching a new website in 2 weeks with videos, articles and assessments on TNLP and especially the Leading Self module. Inspired by your note I am going to start to offer Leading Self training for young people and also train professionals who are interested in working with this group of people. Love, Roberto
